[E-trademarks] Alternative to Twitter/X ?

For my own reading, my current choice is Bluesky + a bunch of RSS feeds, including John's indispensable TTABlog.​

FWIW: I now have automatic crossposting from my blog to Mastodon, Bluesky, an email subscription via Mailchimp (free account because I don't have that many email subscribers), RSS feed, and LinkedIn. It took a bit of kludging, but If This Then That is really good at most of it.

There's no shortage of alternatives (e.g., Mastodon, Threads, Bluesky, maybe even LinkedIn?), but none of them comes close to what Twitter used to be like . . . of course, neither does Twitter (you can't make me call it "X") at this point.

I’ve been on threads for a year (heidieight) and it’s a solid platform although it doesn’t have the same notification process that Twitter does.
FWIW one of the only reasons I’ve stayed on Twitter actively is because of your tweets there. Well, that and the national hurricane center notifications. I am a Floridian, after all.

I’ve been tweeting my blog posts for many years now, but I am fed up with the increasingly vile content on X/Twitter.

Can anyone recommend a good alternative?
